Default Owning Z Increases Your Road Rage

I just got an '03 350z about a week ago and ever since I have become a very angry driver. I find that everyone pisses me off on the road because now everyone goes so slow. I just want to blow by every stupid soccer mom in a minivan and every old grandpa in their crown vics. I fly up on everybody's bumper to within inches and I sit there yelling and swearing at them at the top of my lungs. I was just wondering if anyone else has suffered the same symptoms when they got their Z? I feel like everyone out on the road is driving so slow just to **** me off.

while it's definitely different for me when switching between my two cars (my accord is the anti-road rage machine...), i am more annoyed by how FAST other drivers are going when i'm in the Z. it frightens me when minivans and SUVs go faster than me on corners and interstate highways. i just think how they will take so much farther to stop if needed and/or not be able to handle properly at speed.

sounds like you need to calm down a bit though, eh?

Bro, I feel your pain. I hate getting stuck behind some minivan or old *** Benz in a no passing zone at 7 in the morning on my way to work. It's like "WTF don't you have somewhere to be?"

It makes me even angrier when anybody dares try to pass me in my Z. Especially fruit cakes in riced out cars. I normally don't let anyone pass me, it just makes me mad for some reason. Unless its a nicer car like a dodge viper or something. Then I just think "Oh, he just wants to get by" and I move outta the gentleman's way.

well...assuming you are being serious and not just trying to get us all worked up, you have issues and should talk to someone about it. seriously. sounds like there are many things at work here...from arrogance to basic anger management issues.

I try to be ultra-courteous while driving the Z. That way people can't say, there goes another a$$hat in a Z thinking he has to show up every soccer mom and old guy in a Crown Vic.

+1. If anything having a Z has given me respect for its power and a sense of responsibility for using it wisely.
